Homicide Bureau is a modest B crime movie with Rita Hayworth as a forensic expert in a small part and Bruce Cabot as a violent cop (see his scene where he beats Marc Lawrence). The best scenes are those showing the police methods, some violent and some scientific, which is unexpected in a 1939 movie. Director Charles Coleman directed a few movies in the 30's and became after an assistant director on some strong classics. Script writer Earl Snell wrote more than a hundred titles, all B movies that have no reputation, maybe there might be some surprises.
